"Food-based dietary guidelines - Brazil

Official name

Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population 2014 (Portuguese: Guia alimentar para a população brasileira2014)

Publication year

Brazil published the first version of its dietary guidelines in 2006. A revised version was launched in 2014.

Process and stakeholders

The development process of the ‘Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population 2014’ was led by the Ministry of Health and the Center for Epidemiological Research in Nutrition and Health of the University of São Paulo (NUPENS/USP), with the support of the Brazilian Pan American Health Organization Office.

The guidelines were elaborated in a participatory manner and in consultation with multiple sectors of the society. In the first stage, a series of workshops to elaborate and evaluate the first draft were held with experts from various sectors including health, education, social protection and agriculture, as well as researchers and representatives of civil society groups (leaders of professional councils and professional associations and members of public policy social control councils and consumer protection organizations). Following those meetings, a second draft of the guidelines was presented for public consultation in a website platform run by the Ministry of Health.

In the second stage, the Ministry of Health and the NUPENS/USP finalized the guidelines, having taken into account the comments from the public consultation."

Transferência horizontal de genes

https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=637780618

Citando:
"Is our human view of life and lineage profoundly wrong? Darwin's tree of life, by which many of us see our ancestry - with genes and traits passed vertically, root to branch, from parent to child and so on for centuries - doesn't include what science has discovered over the past couple of generations. Horizontal gene transfer or HGT - genetic matter we don't inherit but acquire sideways, if you please, virally from other organisms, even other species. Roughly 8 percent of the human genome arrived that way. The tree of life is really a web.

David Quammen traces the story and implications of this discovery in his new book "The Tangled Tree: A Radical New History Of Life." He's an award-winning science, nature and travel writer. His work has appeared in National Geographic, Rolling Stone and The New York Times' Book Review. David Quammen joins us now from Bozeman, Mont. Thanks so much for being with us."

A top psychologist says there's only one way to become the best in your field — but not everyone agrees

Professor Anders Ericsson is an expert on experts, who studies exactly how people improve at anything.


In decades of research, he has found that just practicing isn't enough - even though his research was the basis for Malcolm Gladwell's popular and oft-cited "10,000-hour rule."


To truly improve, you must engage in what Ericsson calls "deliberate practice."

As a teenager in Sweden, Anders Ericsson used to play chess against one of his classmates, a boy considerably worse at the game than Ericsson. Every time they'd play, Ericsson would trounce him.

Then one day, the classmate beat him.

Ericsson wanted to know: What exactly had the boy done to improve his performance so drastically?

Though Ericsson didn't realize it then, the question would come to define his life's work.

In the years that followed his defeat at the hands of his classmate, Ericsson found himself less interested in improving at chess and more interested in learning how people improve at anything.

Today, Ericsson is a professor of psychology at Florida State University, where he specializes, among many topics, in the science of peak performance. He is, in other words, an expert on experts.

According to Ericsson's research and logic, the sole reason you aren't a virtuoso violinist, or an Olympic athlete, or another kind of world-class performer, is that you haven't engaged in a process he calls "deliberate practice."

In general, according to Ericsson, deliberate practice involves stepping outside your comfort zone and trying activities beyond your current abilities. While repeating a skill you've already mastered might be satisfying, it's not enough to help you get better. Moreover, simply wanting to improve isn't enough - people also need well-defined goals and the help of a teacher who makes a plan for achieving them.

At first, the teacher gives feedback on your efforts; eventually, you can spot problems in your own performance and tweak it accordingly. Ericsson's research has led him to study expert spellers, elite athletes, and memory champions - and he attributes their diverse successes to deliberate practice.

Most notably, Ericsson's work on deliberate practice formed the basis for the "10,000-hour rule" featured in Malcolm Gladwell's book, "Outliers": Put in about 10,000 hours of practice, and you'll become an expert.

Unfortunately, Ericsson says Gladwell misinterpreted his research and that 10,000 hours of merely repeating the same activity over and over again is not sufficient to catapult someone to the top of their field.

Livro recomenda saltar o pequeno-almoço?

Ou ter cuidado com o que se come nele:
http://m.independent.ie/life/food-drink/food-news/could-skipping-breakfast-actually-be-the-key-to-maximising-your-health-35374887.html
Citando:
"Fast forward to this century, and cabbage soup diets are still used by those in search of the holy grail of weight loss -although, in terms of popularity, they've been supplanted by Dukan, South Beach, the 5:2, Paleo, alkaline and blood type diets, to name a few.(...)
If you absolutely can't survive without your morning meal, Professor Kealey says the ideal breakfast would probably be a boiled egg, followed by strawberries and cream, strawberries having a lower glycaemic index than other foods.
Dietitian Sarah Keogh has a trinity of foods she thinks should make up a healthy breakfast. "It's very good to get the wholegrain in, because we know that it helps reduce heart disease and they have antioxidants and B vitamins.
"Secondly, I would always look to get some sort of fruit or vegetable in there, something as simple as a banana or a few berries. And then some protein - nut butters like peanut or almond are fantastic and some people like an egg in a morning. Seeds are also brilliant, such as a couple of teaspoons of sunflower seeds into your porridge.""
